Captain Jia's hydroponic lettuce has started tasting like anxiety. Saving her ship will require something far more difficult than engineering: telling the truth. Captain Jia has always believed that a good captain solves every problem alone. But when the hydroponic garden aboard The Persistent Lettuce begins producing lettuce infused with the crew's emotions, she discovers that some problems can't be repaired with tools or determination. The only cure lies on Veridia, a mysterious world where living moss listens, remembers, and changes with every feeling. There, Jia and her wonderfully mismatched crew-including a tea-loving xenobiologist, a sardonic engineer, a pun-loving communications officer, and an endearingly clumsy robot puppy-must earn the planet's trust by sharing one honest story each day. As laughter replaces fear and unlikely friendships deepen, Jia learns that courage isn't about hiding weakness-it's about letting others help carry the weight. Perfect for readers who love: - Cozy science fiction - Found family adventures - Gentle humour and heartfelt storytelling - Hopepunk and optimistic fiction - Tea, tiny gardens, and memorable robot companions - Character-driven journeys with emotional warmth - Complete stories with satisfying endings The Hull, The Hearth, & The Hydroponic Leak is the first novel in the Veridia Trilogy-a heartwarming cozy science fiction series where kindness matters, tea is almost mandatory, and even the smallest acts can change a galaxy. Begin your journey aboard The Persistent Lettuce today.
